The successes and failures in the world of fashion are an everyday thing, but among so many ideas that come and go, there are always pieces that remain unique and that are considered garments that have made history, lasting until today.
Among these garments there are for men, women and some so important, of which there are versions unisex.
Bikini: this feminine piece was created in 1946 by Louis Reard. Although the original design has come a long way to the present day, it will always honor the way Reard envisioned women back then.
black dress: the black dress and it is special the «Little Black Dress» was created by Coco Channel in 1926, as a representative piece of female independence.
Leather jacket: It is a garment that screams sensuality and rebellion like no other. In the 1950s, it was James Dean who popularized its use in the film «Rebel Without a Cause,» making it a classic piece that has been identified with by young people of all subsequent generations.
Mini skirt: her break into the world of fashion was a challenge in many ways. The miniskirt arrived in the 1960s at the hands of designer Mary Quant and since then they have become a basic in the women’s wardrobe, synonymous with freedom and sensuality.
Jeans: It is the most iconic piece in the history of fashion, as it works for men and women. This wonderful invention has been with us since 1873, when Levi Strauss and Jacob Davis teamed up to produce pants in denim, which is also considered the most used fabric in the world.
The bra: every woman knows how to appreciate the importance of this garment that emerged in 1914 from the hand of Mary Phelps Jacobs, as a substitute for the annoying corset. At first it was two silk scarves tied with ribbons that she Phelps called «Backless”.
Costume: It is the formal dress par excellence, capable of changing the appearance of the wearer in an instant. It emerged in England in the mid-nineteenth century and has evolved with subtle changes that do not alter its essence.
Heels: In principle, the heels were used to help the riders in their tasks. Later, in the 18th century, the ladies of the French court began to use them and in the 20th century the concept was redesigned, creating all the versions that are preserved to this day.
T-shirt: the white shirt for both men and women is synonymous with elegance and distinction. Interestingly, this began to be used as underwear.
Coat: Specifically, the trench coat was invented as a utility item for the British Army during World War I. Its design is due to Sir Thomas Burberry, who thought of a garment that covered the cold and water, thanks to its waterproof material.
The influence of these garments has been so important that we would probably not conceive of our closet without them; and it is that as basics or protagonists, they have a deserved place in the history of fashion.
